Activity 5 - History

Anglo-Saxons and Scots

Artefacts & Culture

By the end of this lesson your child will be able to analyse and describe Anglo-Saxon artefacts and explain what they can teach us about Anglo-Saxon culture.

Before you start the lesson, I recommend you first view the short In-Focus Sutton-Hoo You-tube film, along with the BBC videos: "What do Archaeologists Do?" and

"What can be found at Sutton Hoo? 

After this go on to the lesson powerpoint and complete the tasks set: Artefacts & Culture Activity Sheets.

 

 

In Focus: Sutton Hoo

Welcome to In Focus. In this series we take a closer look at particular sites, finds and objects from the world of Archaeology.

What do archaeologists do - BBC

  • What do archaeologists do? Archaeologists study the past. They look at the remains that people leave behind in the ground to discover how they lived. An archaeologist working at Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland talks about his work and explains what he does.

BBC - What can be found at Sutton Hoo?

  • What can be found at Sutton Hoo? Sutton Hoo is a series of large mounds in East Anglia. In 1939 a local archaeologist excavated the biggest mound and found an Anglo-Saxon ship buried there. The ship is believed to have belonged to an Anglo-Saxon King due to the wonderful artefacts found during the excavation.
